Lyrics: Red hair in the black light Blade-born, flame-eyed Everybody ran home But Morning stayed behind Old Ones waking Demons without names She stepped through the nightmare And became a whirlwind of flames They opened the gate, and the darkness drew near The air whispered names no one wanted to hear No stars in the heavens, no birds overhead Just a blood-colored sky—and a world that fed Nox came first with his soul-blade drawn A giant in the dark before the false dawn Morning beside him, fire in her stare Chaos marks burning through the smoke-filled air Behind them came the lost and the brave The ones Nox gathered from the edge of the grave Hunters, prophets, soldiers, seers All walking forward through their own worst fears But this was not Earth, not any place known It was an old dimension where horrors had grown And deep in the ruins where the black winds crawled The Old Ones stirred when they heard blood called [Chorus] Morning, Morning, red as the sun She walks where the living were never meant to come While the red sky trembles and the dark winds rise She feels something watching through a thousand eyes She cuts one down, takes the power inside Moves like thunder with her soul set wide The Old Ones scream when the red flame climbs Morning gets stronger every time The first Old One rose from a lake of bone With a thousand dead mouths and a cathedral groan Its fingers were towers, its eyes were pits Its shadow made brave men lose their grip Nox swung hard and the darkness split But the beast healed fast from the heart of it Morning saw something no one else saw clear A crack in its hunger, a pulse in its fear She moved like a spark through a hurricane wall Red hair flying as the heavens did fall Her hands caught fire, her marks burned white Then she carved her name through the belly of night The demon collapsed with a world-shaking cry And black rain started falling upward to the sky But Morning stood still as the corpse turned dim And the power inside it poured into her skin Her breath got colder Her eyes burned bright One death behind her More speed, more might [Repeat Chorus] Then came the second with a crown of flies Speaking dead languages through borrowed eyes It knew her chains, knew the Chaos brand Tried to make her kneel with a lifted hand It said, “Little weapon, little flame in the rain You were made to be held, you were made to be chained You were shaped as a sword, you were born to obey Bow down now, or be broken today” Morning smiled with blood on her teeth Said, “You don’t know what burns underneath I was steel, I was sorrow, I was locked away But every chain taught my soul how to slay” She struck so fast that the world went pale Left red light stitched like a comet trail The Old One fell with its curse half-spoken And another dark kingdom inside her opened Now she was faster than the eye could track Here, then gone, then behind your back Each demon she ended became fuel for the storm And the woman called Morning became something more Nox saw the gate start folding in flame He shouted her name, but she never came The others fell through to the world they knew While the dying dimension split in two He reached for her once through the closing door But she stood on the far side, ready for more Red hair blazing in the demon wind With a look that said, “This is where I begin” [Repeat Chorus] Alone in the ruins where the dead moons hang She hunted by sound when the great bones sang No army beside her, no hand to hold Just a heart full of fire and a will gone cold Third one came with a mountain face Fourth one bent the laws of space Fifth one whispered in her mother’s voice Sixth one offered her a painless choice But Morning was done being anyone’s tool Done being bound by another lord’s rule She tore through their nightmares, drank their might And turned each grave into red starlight The Chaos marks cracked, but they did not fade They glowed like scars on a living blade Every kill made the old chains thin Every scream woke the dawn within Old Ones rise Old Ones fall Morning walks Through the screaming hall Red flame flash Black blood rain Every dead demon Makes her break the chain Morning, Morning, red as the sun She don’t back down and she don’t run Far from Nox and the world she saved She dances with monsters in a godless grave She cuts one down, takes the power inside Faster than fear with the fire as her guide The Old Ones know when the red light shines Morning gets stronger every time Back on Earth, Nox remembers her face And the open wound of that vanished place Beyond the gate where the dead stars burn Morning still fights from where no one can return Not as a sword Not as a slave Not as the woman The Chaos Lords made But red dawn rising Through a kingdom of thorns And every demon she kills Leaves her stronger than before
